Chapter 345 I'm Back
At this moment, the press conference was in complete chaos.
The people Evander had brought blocked the entrance and surrounded Mary and her group, not letting them leave.
The media contacted by Evander were broadcasting recklessly.
Meanwhile, they stood by silently, enjoying the spectacle.
As for the security guards, they had long been bribed by Evander and his associates and had disappeared without a trace.
Where did Harper go?
There was an incident in the adjacent hall that she had to handle. She had just rushed back and saw the situation.
"Ms. Smith!" Harper called out anxiously.
She quickly pushed through the crowd, ran over, and hugged Mary. Seeing the bloodstains on her dress, she knew things had gotten serious!
"Security! Security! Get out of my way!" Harper screamed. However, dozens of people surrounded them, their expressions indifferent as they kept cursing.
Elbert, Genesis, and others argued vehemently, even resorting to physical confrontation, wrestling with the group.
But it was to no avail as the entire venue was under Evander's control.
"Think you can fight me? You're still too young!" Evander sneered inwardly, drained the last drop of red wine from his glass, and signaled to his subordinate. "Send more people in. Create even more chaos. Kill the baby in Mary's belly if you can."
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate in a black suit immediately left the venue and made a phone call.
Before long, a group of thugs wielding clubs and similar weapons stormed into the reception hall.
The leader, a bald man with a vicious face, waved a baseball bat and shouted loudly, "Who's Mary? Damn it, my mom took your drugs and died!"
The crowd that had been cursing angrily dispersed, replaced by the thugs. They rushed in, spotting Mary lying on the ground, surrounded by six or seven people.
The bald man shouted arrogantly, "Damn it! Is it this woman? She's pretty, but her heart is as black as coal!"
Waving his hand, he said, "Beat her up! Beat this heartless woman to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight of his men charged forward.
Elbert panicked, suddenly stood up, grabbed a folding metal chair, and roared, "How dare you!"
Behind him, a male assistant also rushed out, standing shoulder to shoulder with Elbert.
Elbert was anxious. William had asked him to take care of Mary, but now, due to his negligence, things had escalated to this point.
If Mary miscarried, it would all be his fault.
"It seems you're not afraid of death!" the bald man roared and swung his baseball bat directly at them!
In an instant, seven or eight people started beating Elbert and his assistant!
The scene was chaotic!
But it didn't last long.
After all, two individuals stood no chance against such an overwhelming onslaught.
Elbert and the male assistant were quickly beaten to the ground, their heads bleeding, in a miserable state.
Genesis, her eyes full of tears, rushed forward and shouted, "Don't hit him! I've called the police!"
The bald man slapped her to the ground and kicked her several times, cursing, "You bitch! I'm only here for Mary today. If any of you dare to interfere, I'll beat you too!"
At his shout, the onlookers quickly scattered like startled birds, eager to avoid trouble.
Someone shouted, "Just beat her to death! Bitch!"
Another scoffed, "Yeah, making dirty money with no conscience. Damn it, I was even thinking of investing this company."
A voice scolded, "BK Pharmaceuticals is like a cancer! Better if they go bankrupt!"
A group of people stood by, not forgetting to kick them while they were down!
The bald man sneered and walked toward Mary, who was lying on the ground, pale but conscious.
"You're Mary? Fine, either pay up or die!" the bald man sneered.
Harper couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and coldly asked the bald man, "Who sent you?"
It was obvious they were here to cause trouble.
The bald man slapped her and cursed, "Damn it, who told you to speak?"
Harper's cheek was red with a handprint, her eyes blazing with anger, and she shouted, "Security!"
But no security came out.
She knew then that things had gone wrong.
Someone must be behind this.
When Harper saw Evander and his group, she understood immediately.
Evander was truly shameless!
"I don't care who you are. This is the Radiant Glow Hotel. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll call the police and have you all arrested!" Harper shouted, standing her ground with Mary behind her. She wouldn't abandon Mary at this moment.
Elbert, bruised and battered, stubbornly got up from the ground, standing in front of Harper and shouting, "Damn it! Come on. If you have the guts, kill me!"
The bald man was enraged, scratched his head, and roared, "Beat him! Beat him until he's crippled!"
Another round of beating ensued, continuing until Elbert couldn't get up.
The bald man spat on Elbert and then walked toward Harper, coldly smiling. "Do you want to stand up for her? Aren't you afraid I'll scar your pretty face?"
Seeing the man approaching step by step, Harper was so scared that she took a few steps back.
"Get them up!" the bald man shouted. At his command, his lackeys rushed over, one grabbing Harper and two others cruelly pulling Mary up from the ground.
A bald man slapped Mary hard, shouting, "Your company's drugs killed my mom, you bitch! What are you going to do about it?"
Mary, now weak and in severe pain, struggled to say, "Our company's drugs have never caused any incidents. Who sent you?"
"You're still denying!" the bald man roared. He glanced secretly at Evander in the corner, then viciously said, "I'll keep slapping you until you admit it!"
The entire reception hall echoed with the sound of slaps.
Mary endured inhuman torture but stubbornly gritted her teeth.
A worried voice suddenly asked, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting my daughter?"
At this moment, Margaret rushed in with a group of friends.
She had just arrived and saw Mary being beaten, her heart aching.
Moreover, she saw blood between Mary's legs and was terrified!
The bald man was suddenly pushed away by Margaret, stumbling, and cursed, "Damn it! Where did this old woman come from?"
Margaret held the shaky Mary, her eyes full of tears, and said anxiously, "Mary, Mary, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Mary, weak all over, collapsed into Margaret's arms, murmuring, "Mom, my baby, my baby!"
As she spoke, Mary's delicate hand was still touching her belly.
Margaret glanced at the blood under Mary, tears streaming down, and cursed, "Damn William! Where is he? Where did he go at a time like this? Mary, I told you William was unreliable, but you didn't listen!"
Margaret was heartbroken and angry!
At this moment, she directed all her anger at William.
Mary said weakly, "Mom, don't blame William. He must have been delayed by something."
Even at the last moment, she was still thinking of William.
"At a time like this, you're still speaking for him. You must divorce him this time. He's an asshole." Margaret commanded, extremely furious.
"I'm taking you to the hospital." Margaret, heartbroken, tried to help her leave.
However, the bald man kicked Margaret, making her stumble.
The bald man, full of menace, pointed at Margaret and cursed, "Damn it, I warn you, if you dare to interfere, I'll beat you too!"
But at this moment, Margaret crawled on her knees to the bald man, begging, "Please let my daughter go, take her to the hospital first, okay?"
The bald man slapped her again, angrily saying, "Take her to the hospital? Hell no! It's better if she dies! Today, if she doesn't admit that BK Pharmaceuticals sells fake drugs, no one leaves!"
Meanwhile, Alan's convoy slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Radiant Glow Hotel.
A total of twelve black Mercedes had been prepared since they entered Lindwood City.
Alan got out of the car, respectfully opened the door, and welcomed William out.
On the way, he had tried calling Craig and others, but couldn't get through. This was strange; had something happened at the press conference?
Just then, a figure rushed out of the Radiant Glow Hotel entrance.
It was Craig, covered in blood, having been slashed multiple times. He knelt in front of William and said, "Mr. Jones, we were ambushed. Mary, Mary is in danger!"
After saying this, he collapsed.
William was shocked, and his eyelids twitched wildly!
At this moment, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
He ran towards the press conference site!
